They seem to be a bit ego-centric and silly the older I get. If it weren't for the people around me, I wouldn't engage in ceremony of any sort. I've forgotten my own birthday in the past if that gives you any idea how excited I am by them. I don't mind celebrating other people's though.

I actually just had one and when my girl asked me what I wanted I told her to just cook me dinner (I usually cook) and have a mellow night at home. She argued that it was not exciting or celebratory enough and insisted that she at least take me out to dinner, and I conceded. In the end though I won by getting pretty sick, so we stayed in and she cooked me a nice homemade tomato pasta soup. Even though I was sick I quite enjoyed it. Exactly what I wanted :P
